and are so secured in multiple on a card mount that they may beseparately readily removed. Our invention comprises a new and usefuldevice of this character, one preferred embodiment of which is shown inthe accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. l is a front view of a cardmount with one of our garter holders mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is a viewof the blank for the garter holder. e Figs. 3 and 4 are end viewsshowing how the blank is folded to form the holder.

Fig. 5 is a rear View of the folded holder. Fig. 6 is a rear view, andFig. 7 an end view, of the finished holder.

Fig. 8 is a rear view, Fig. 9 an end view, and Fig. l() a side View ingthe holder to be mechanically interlocked with the card mount. i

Fig. 11 is an enlarged cross-Section through the card and one of theholders. c

A sheet of cardboard is scored along four lines so as to adapt it to befolded to form the front a, a back b, b and sides c, c of a holder. Ifthe article of merchandise is a pair of garters w, the same are slippedover the holder, before until they engage and enclose the front a. VThecombined width of two wings b, b of the back is greater than that of thefront so that, when the parts are folded as described, the edges of thewings overlap; and in order that they may also interlock, one of the wins is provided with a notch d with which t e other wing is adapted toengage in such manner that each wing overlaps the other for half theheightpof the holder.

To maintain the holder in its folded and operative condition, a stickere of pa er or fabric is applied to the back of the card) so as tooverlap the joints between the two wings b, b', being preferably gluedthereto.

The holder, with the garters carried thereby, is then enclosed in asheet of transparent paper f. The paper need not, and preferablydoesnot, cover the back of the holder but of the holder of Figs. 25 6 and 7with a strip applied thereto for adaptthe front of t e holder beinshould merely cover the marginal edges thereof.

It is impossible to effectively glue the vordi-A nary transparent paperof commerce to a cardboard surface unless such pa r is all ready mountedon a fiat stili` material. is possible, therefore, to glue. therback ofthe holder herein described direct to a kcard mount, whether thetransparent paper ex-` tends entirely across the back or only along themarginal part thereof, but if, as is preferred, the transparent aperdoes not engage the back of the-hol the edges, the glue is applieddirectly to the sticker e, which is directly glued to the card mount. p

An alternative way of securing the holder to the card mount is to secureto the back of the holder a strip g which' may be flush with one edge ofthe holder and whlch is provided with a tongue h that extends beyond Ithe holder. The strip g should be secured to the holder relatively nearits ends only and not along that part thereof adjacent the tongue h. Thecard mount m is provided with a tongue i enclosed on three sides by aslot j. The tongue k of the holder is adapted to be slipped into theslot j and under the tongue i, which isadapted to extend between thestrip g and the back of the holder, asshown in Fig. 11. Thereby theholder is mechanically interlocked with the card mount.

Whether the holder is glued to, or mechani- 1 'cally engaged with, thecard mount, it is folded as described b it may e readily removed fordelivery to a pur chaser.

Having now full described our invention, what we claim and desire toprotect by Letters Patent is:

1. A contrivance'for displaying articles of merchandise, comprising aholder consisting of a sheet of cardboard bent to provide a shallowopen-ended structure adapted to engage a-nd sup rt an article ofmerchandise, formed by the central part of the sheet an the back of theholder being formed of the parts of the sheet adjacent to the lattersopposite edges, said parts overlapping and interlocking, a transparentwrapper coverin the front andenclosing the open ends o the holder, a.stri secured relatively-.near its ends to the bac of the holder alongone edge'thereof, and a card mount cut away to` form a tongue partly erexceptV adjacent l surrounded by a slot, said holderbeing so engaged onthe card mount that the tongue of the rlatter extends between the backof the holder andthe mediate part of the strip not securedto the holder.v

2. A display packageconiprising a holder consisting of a sheet ofcardboard bent to provide a shallow open ended structure, the front ofthe holdei1 being formed by the central part of the sheet and the backof the holder being formed of the parts of the sheet adj acent to thelatters oppositer edges, vsaid parts overlappingl and interlocking, incombination with a tubular article oi' merchandise eX- tending betweenthe front and back of the holder and from the open ends thereof aboutthe: outsideoif the front, and a transparent lWrapper covering the frontot' the holder, the

open sides thereof and the article of merchandise carried thereby.

3. A display package comprising a holder consisting of a sheet ofcardboard bent to provide a shallow open ended structure, the front, ofthe holder being formed by the central part of the sheet and the back ofthe holder being formed of the parts ,of the sheet adacent to thelatters opposite edges, said parts In testimony of which invention, Wehave p hereunto set our hands, at Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania, on this 11th day of February,
